Description:
Dance Cam Shuffle (DCS) is a website that provides a revolutionary way to connect people all over the world. Using peer-to-peer webcam connections, members are randomly paired with a different person to dance with every 15 seconds. Everyone on the site hears the same music, so when pairings switch, everyone is still dancing to the same beat. Good dancers can earn points from other members, and other important statistics are also tracked. The website is currently online in a beta version at (URL removed).
The company CEO is Joseph Dee Itri. Joseph is a certified public accountant and has worked for national accounting firms since graduating from Brigham Young University in 2008.
DCS is part of the Internet’s largest current market—social media. This market is still very new and growing. Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter are examples of sites in this category. Like these sites, DCS is monetized by selling advertising space, but DCS also sells the music played on the site.
Other websites exist that similarly connect random people around the world on webcams; however none of these websites are centered on dancing together. Additionally, these websites lack features to effectively censor objectionable behavior.
